The Finest Masking Fluid Ever!! I had Never Heard of This Before!

[@myrnalandersartist]

That background color is so yummy! I would never have thought of a pthalo blue/indigo as a background for the green and purple but it's perfect!

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

Thank you. I admit they are in my favorite color group.

Love the gum pic & calligraphy nib...brilliant

Thanks! Oh hope you have fun with it!!

Amazing sharing. Thank you so much for this beautiful things

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

You’re welcome!

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

In love with backlit flowers, kids, or animals. They are so fun to paint and quite striking. Using frisket makes it so much easier to accomplish.

Like #23. Nice book. Great idea.

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

I’m not sure what book you are referring to.

@@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040 sorry. I wondered where that comment went! My comment was for a different video. I tried to make a comment and KZbin switched me right to the next one I had previously selected to watch! I thought my comment disappeared into the internet ether!

Oh my goodness! That’s beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Using masking works wonders and is so worth the time spent.

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

Thank you! I’m so glad you like it.

Thank you - this was so helpful. Also I appreciate these smaller paintings as they give me guidance in trying techniques and different options that I would be reluctant to attempt in a larger format. 🙏

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

Thank you! I’m so glad you find them helpful!

Beautiful! So delicate and so full of light!! Gorgeous! 💫❤️

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

Thank you so much for your kind words.

[@susanmayhew2132]

I pour a small amount of masking fluid into medicine bottle caps. When I'm finished, I pour the remainder back in the bottle. My masking fluid lasts longer without getting gummy from exposure to the air. I usually just toss out the cap.

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

That's a great idea!

Cool suggestion to use the picks. Also, that's not an eraser; it's a rubber cement pickup. :)

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

Thanks. Learn something new every day!

Thank you for the tutorial

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

You’re welcome! Good luck with your painting!

[@carolynrobinson9502]

Love this tutorial, I just found you and plan to watch many more. This one is so beautiful in every way. I do have trouble with the drawings and I see that you no longer have yours. Do you trace yours or hand drawers? Thanks!

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

Thank you!! I usually trace my drawing in interest of time and just draw the parts that I’m changing from the photo.

[@JC-il4or]

Really nicely done!! Never tried a pen for frisket-what nib are you using for those intricate lines? Thanks for a lovely vid.

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

Thank you so much. It has the number 22 on it. It was the second to smallest one they had except the really tiny nibs that don’t have a split down the center. That split allows you to get varying sizes on lines by pushing harder. I did water down my frisket just a tiny bit. Hope it goes well for you!!

[@JC-il4or]

@@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040 thank you!

[@lisawaller7620]

I saw a tutorial that said dip old brush in drop or 2 of dawn so as not to gum up the brush

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

I have tried that (out with bar soap) but did not love how thick the frisket was on the paper even with a tiny brush. It did help save the brush though.

[@lisawaller7620]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Is frisket, masking fluid ?

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

Thanks! Yes it is masking fluid.

[@dianfuad1944]

Lovely! Do you have a link where i could get the outline/ print the image? I'm not good in sketching 🙏🏻

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

Thank you! I took the photo myself and have since lost it both on my computer and my paper copy. I’m sorry I can’t be more help.

[@electrichen6243]

Beautiful. Could you use wax resist for a similar highlighted effect?

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

Thank you! I actually have never used wax resist. Can you paint it on? If you can paint it on, it should work.

[@electrichen6243]

@@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040 You draw using a white wax crayon or piece of candle wax.

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

@@electrichen6243 I wondered if that is what you meant. The look would be much more rustic because you wouldn't be able to put in the fine detail. I don't see why it wouldn't work though.

What size nib on the pen?

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

I got one of the tiniest ones. I’m sorry I can’t check on the size for a few days.

[@vickymassey1479]

Toothpicks are more environmentally friendly, also reusable and don't flex.

[@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040]

What a great idea. Thank you.
